Red Wolf 06:03
Red wolf on the run The stars they all bow down To the coming of the dawn And dead men in the fog Drift awhile with me Sifting through the trees The timber echoes along And I lose myself in time And the comfort of this song
2.
Shouldering the saddle with bloody cuffs Never should have trusted a dead man's bluff There's no mercy below the sun When moonlight's gleaming off Glanton's guns Just stay low my only son Shouldering the saddle with bloody cuffs Never should have trusted a dead man's bluff There's no mercy below the sun When moonlight's gleaming off Glanton's guns Just stay low my only son We'll tarry in the canyon 'til morning comes And wait until the carrion dogs have gone We'll tarry in the canyon 'til morning comes And wait until the carrion dogs have gone

Bells 04:43
Listen to the foghorns blow Into the harbor air Watch the nightmen swill their wine And dance the thoroughfare While the moon ignites The cemetery grounds And the silver ribs Of the bells We lowered down the milliner Who'd finally passed away We lowered down a family Who had burned in the cabaret And strung the nickel wire From the caskets through the clay To the bells Nothing when my eyes are wide But the vagueness of a dream Coils of soft white sawdust Opal eyes of a galaxy But before the rest is silence Comes a distant hammering Of the bells Narrower our ceiling Narrower our floors Narrower and narrower Our beds below the boards No, we're alive, we're alive! The bells

So Amazing 01:06
Whoa! So amazing! (squirrel sounds)
5.
Mary nail the beds down The children floating off again Over trees and floodplains In the air and dreaming To the moonlight yawning Passing over miles of sand If we let them float all night They'll be gone by morning Henry grab the earrings We'll need them to erase the debt Let them drop to soldiers In exchange for bayonets Harriet come closer Don't let them see your silhouette We're just black balloons now Backing up a loaded gun Skinny legs skywalking Family trees time warping
6.
Magic Bullet 06:00
I saw a leaf tumbling through An avenue, an avenue As full as my heart The cure pushing through Amphetamine blues Your Mythylene blue All of the blood in my hometown Was easily drained, so easily drained All of the blood in my hometown Was easily drained, so easily drained I saw the eyes, like crystalline skies Of houses I knew, houses I knew Burnt from inside By new living dead While needles and thread Made exodus beds All of the blood in my hometown Was easily drained, so easily drained All of the blood in my hometown Was easily drained, so easily drained
7.
Hemingway 05:06
I am a tired lion Lyin' spread out on the grass Yawning as you pass I am a hungry hunter Hidin' rifle in my hand Ready to make my stand Hemingway hear me roar

porches Portland, Oregon

Trained in the ways of the gun and the axe, in wrangling tornadoes and dancing in the face of danger, in drinking without a straw and punching without a fist.
